Troubles Opening COVERAGE Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Removed

If you attempt to load your COVERAGE file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open COVERAGE Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your COVERAGE because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens COVERAGE files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Incorrect Microsoft Visual Studio Version

In other instances, your Visual Studio Code Coverage Report file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Download the latest Microsoft Visual Studio version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed.

Tip: If you right-click on your COVERAGE file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
